This is more in the way of a note to myself. I was just starting to write a bash completion script for Pandoc when I came upon this in the Pandoc documentation:

--bash-completion

Generate a bash completion script. To enable bash completion with pandoc, add this to your .bashrc:

eval "$(pandoc --bash-completion)"

So no need for me to write one. Neat trick, generate your own bash completion script. John McFarlane really is a god. Oh, and the completion is top quality, it knows when you’ve typed an option that takes an input or output format and completes on those and other little tricks. I may end up using some of his tricks for my completions.
